When I decided to find a private tour, I found Jasmine on the toursbylocals.com website. From the first email I sent to Jasmine to plan a surprise private tour for my daughters, Jasmine was very responsive. Not only did she reply to all my emails timely she also called me to discuss. I gave her an agenda of the sites that we wanted to see and told her about both of my daughters interests. She picked us up on time and was very friendly. Talk about a personalized tour--since we were staying in Laurel Canyon (Hollywood Hills) she put together a playlist of Laurel Canyon musicians. In addition to taking us to all the sites I had on our agenda, since my one daughter is a singer/songwriter, she also took us by Capital Records, Ringo Starr's home, Elton John's part-time condo, and Michael Jackson's house. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the area, history and facts. She answered every question my daughters had. She knew the best places to park, so that we could quickly maneuver, best places to take pictures and gave us tips as we visited each site. She truly gave us a personal tour of the top sites and then some in 5 hours!!! It was well worth it. I would highly recommend Jasmine to anyone interested in a personal tour of the LA area--you will be pleased!!!
